Still no reason as to why they’re incarcerated. Please turn your attention towards Pakistan. It’s currently a state of chaos, with violent, vindictive criminals in charge.

They only fear foreign intervention. People within Pakistan are oppressed, if they speak out, they put their families in life threatening danger. @andyburnham @Ed_Miliband, I implore you to take a stand. Urge this establishment to listen to reason and free those unjustly incarcerated.

عاصم منیر کے پاس دو راستے ہیں یا سرنڈر کرے یا مارشل لا لگائے۔
اگر مارشل لا بھی لگا تو یہ ایک کمزور ترین مارشل لا ہوگا۔
عاصم منیر صاحب! میلہ لُٹنے والا ہے۔ یہی کنٹینر آپ کے گلے پڑیں گے۔
میری ساری عمر تحریکوں میں گزری ہے۔ یہ تحریک تو آپ نہیں روک سکتے۔ مشورہ ہے بندوقیں پھینکیں، اور مشورہ اس لیے دے رہا ہوں کیونکہ عاصم منیر کے دیرینہ ماموں بابر شاہ میرے ورکر تھے۔ اب تو وہ اور وجہ سے سرخیوں میں ہیں۔
ہمارے ڈی جی آئی ایس پی آر احمد شریف کے والد بشیر الدین محمود ہمیشہ اسلام آباد میں میرے گھر آ جایا کرتے تھے۔ اگر میں گھر پر موجود نہ ہوتا تو میرے نوکر گھر پر ہوتے اور وہ آ کر ان کے پاس بیٹھے رہتے۔
اس لیے میرا مشورہ خلوصِ دل سے ہے۔

کچے گھڑے نے جیت لی ندی چڑھی ہوئی
مضبوط کشتیوں کو کنارہ نہیں ملا ):

علیمہ خانم، عظمیٰ خانم اور نورین نیازی، تینوں نے تاریخ رقم کر دی ہے۔ آپ کی ہمت اور جرات کو سلام۔
تحریکِ انصاف کے کارکنوں، سہیل آفریدی، آپ بھی آپ کو یہ جنگ جیتنے پر مبارک باد پیش کرتا ہوں۔ اتنا ڈرا ہوا کسی ڈکٹیٹر کو نہیں دیکھا۔ یہ بیچارے کنٹینر جمع کرتے رہیں گے اور احتجاج میں یہی کنٹینر ان کی شکست کا باعث ہونگے۔

Hearing news that my cousin’s children are now safe 🙏.

Meanwhile two more of my cousins have been arrested. Azeem and Sakeenah.

No reasons given.

No location given.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

Today, my aunt, Aleema Khan, has been abducted by police in Lahore. Our family has been told nothing about where she has been taken. Her family and lawyers cannot reach her.

This is the behaviour of a fascist government - abducting people, terrorising families and trampling human rights, due process and the rule of law while pretending to stand for democracy.

First they imprisoned my father. Now they are coming after his family.

We demand immediate access to her for her family and lawyers, full disclosure of where she is being held, and her immediate release.

The world cannot keep looking away from what is happening in Pakistan.

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

Deeply concerning to see Aleema Khan, sister of jailed former PM Imran Khan, arrested and detained for 30 days under the Maintenance of Public Order law — days before PTI’s planned Sept 27 protest.

I interviewed her in December about her brother’s imprisonment.

Prime Minister @andyburnham and Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband : how much longer will Britain remain silent?

For three years the father of my two sons, and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has been brutally penalised by his political opponents, in a personal vendetta by Army Chief, Asim Munir,  which according to the UN,  amounts to torture and which  is now taking a potentially fatal toll on his physical and mental health. 

He has endured 3 years of solitary confinement. For nearly ten months now his family has been denied contact with him. He has been deprived of the most basic human contact, denied access to books, lawyers and doctors.

The international human-rights standards are unequivocal. Under the UN’s Nelson Mandela Rules, solitary confinement lasting more than 15 consecutive days is prohibited and amounts to torture.

He has endured this treatment not for 15 days, but for three years.

Pakistan’s own Supreme Court has now intervened: ordering comprehensive  medical treatment, access to his personal doctor, regular family visits and twice-weekly calls with his sons.

Yet those orders are being defied.

This is no longer simply a Pakistani political matter. It is a human-rights emergency.

He has deep and lifelong ties to Britain. He studied at Oxford University, captained Oxford University cricket and spent years playing county cricket in England. His relationship with this country stretches back more than half a century. His charitable activities were internationally recognised, and  include building the only free cancer hospital in Pakistan as well as a university.

His sons, my two boys, Sulaiman and Kasim, are British citizens. They have been forced to watch their father’s health decline from thousands of miles away, prevented from visiting him, denied visas, publicly threatened by government officials with arrest themselves, and even denied court-mandated regular phone calls. 

I have repeatedly appealed to the UK government to intervene. Purported attempts at back channelling have evidently failed. The previous Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy informed me in writing that Britain would not  intervene if my sons, British citizens, are arrested when they travel to Pakistan to visit their father. 

@FCDOGovUK: Britain must now speak out publicly and unequivocally. Demand that Pakistan comply with its own Supreme Court;  restore Imran Khan’s medical access, his right to see his family, end his prolonged isolation and uphold his fundamental human rights.

Pakistan is a Commonwealth country. Britain has a long and proud tradition of standing against arbitrary detention, inhumane treatment and the denial of fundamental rights. Those principles mean very little if we invoke them only selectively and neglect them when inconvenient.
This an appeal to the new Burnham government  to please now do the right thing.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

It has now been around 1,100 days since my father, Imran Khan, was imprisoned, and my brother and I haven’t heard his voice since March. For months, we’ve been denied contact with him. We remain in the dark about his access to healthcare as his eyesight continues to deteriorate. He urgently needs medical attention, and with no family or legal access, we don’t even get any second hand information or reassurance.

I’ve found myself especially missing him recently. I want to speak to him about mundane things like my cricket, books I’ve been reading and what new movies are good. I understand the people of Pakistan want their chosen leader free, but I miss my father more than ever.

But this is not just about a father. It is about Pakistan, and its future. A rigged, authoritarian regime continues to crush political opposition, undermine democratic institutions, and deny millions of Pakistanis their right to freely choose their leaders, whilst terrorising those who speak their beliefs.

I once again plea to the international community to not look away. Silence in the face of injustice only enables it.

[Noreen Khanum @noreen_khanum]

Pakistan Form-47 puppet government are spreading a completely fake story that Imran Khan’s son called for suspension of Pakistan’s GSP+ at a UN forum — something he never said. Even Kasim khan himself clearly denied and Dawn knew and many other media have already called this fake news. Yet ministers and some paid anchors keep pushing this lie. They are not discrediting Imran Khan — they are exposing themselves and becoming a joke. More power to you @Kasim_Khan_1999

[Jibran Ilyas @agentjay2009]

In British Parliament, Lords are urging the UK government to engage with Pakistani counterparts, seeking transparency and assurances on his medical care and human rights of Imran Khan. The UK Ministers are being pressed to clarify what steps are being taken diplomatically to address these concerns.

NEW:

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Iran’s FM says that they were willing to get rid of 440kg of enriched uranium, but Trump and Netanyahu chose war

“I never said that we are going to make bombs.

I said that we have 440 kilos of 60 percent enriched material, and that was not a secret. That is what is mentioned in the reports of the IAEA.

If enriched more, it could be enough for 10 bombs according to your own experts’ claims. So we are ready to give them up, to dilute them, to downblend them into lower degrees.

By saying that, I wanted to say that the concession that we were making was really big.

But how they have interpreted that, I don’t know. Maybe because of lack of knowledge, maybe because of their intentions to justify, as I said, the act of aggression which cannot be justified.”

جب چی گویرا کو اُس کے ٹھکانے سے گرفتار کیا گیا،
اور بتایا گیا کہ یہ راز ایک چرواہے نے فاش کیا ہے
کسی نے چرواہے سے حیرت سے پوچھا
تم نے اُس شخص کو کیسے بیچا جو ساری زندگی تمہارے اور تمہارے حقوق کے لیے لڑتا رہا؟"

چرواہا بس اتنا بولا:

اس کی دشمنوں سے جنگ نے میری بکریوں کو ڈرا دیا تھا

برسوں پہلے، مصر میں عظیم قائد محمد کریم نے نپولین کی قیادت میں آنے والے فرانسیسی لشکر کی مزاحمت کی۔
گرفتار ہونے پر انہیں سزائے موت سنائی گئی۔
نپولین نے انہیں بلا کر کہا

مجھے افسوس ہے کہ ایک ایسے شخص کو قتل کرنا پڑ رہا ہے
جس نے اپنے وطن کا اتنی بہادری سے دفاع کیا۔
میں نہیں چاہتا کہ تاریخ مجھے ایسے شخص کے طور پر یاد رکھے
جس نے اپنی سرزمین کے لیے لڑنے والے ہیروز کو مار ڈالا۔
اس لیے میں تمہیں معاف کرتا ہوں — اگر تم دس ہزار سونے کے سکے ادا کرو
جو ہمارے مارے گئے سپاہیوں کا معاوضہ ہوں۔

محمد کریم مسکرا کر بولے
میرے پاس اتنے نہیں ہیں، مگر تاجروں پر میرے سو ہزار سے زیادہ سونے کے سکے واجب الادا ہیں۔

نپولین نے مہلت دی۔ وہ ہتھکڑیاں پہنے، قبضے کے سپاہیوں سے گھرا ہوا بازار پہنچا
ان کے پاس یہ امید تھی کہ جن کے لیے اپنی جان داؤ پر لگائی
وہ اب وفا کا ثبوت دیں گے۔
مگر ایک بھی تاجر نے جواب نہ دیا۔
الٹا اُن پر الزام لگایا کہ تم نے اسکندریہ کو برباد کیا
اور ان کے کاروبار کو تباہ کیا۔
محمد کریم ٹوٹے دل کے ساتھ نپولین کے سامنے واپس آئے
تو نپولین نے کہا
میں تمہیں اس لیے قتل نہیں کر رہا کہ تم نے ہم سے جنگ کی
بلکہ اس لیے کہ تم نے اپنی جان ایسے بزدل لوگوں کے لیے قربان کی
جن کے لیے تجارت، وطن کی آزادی سے زیادہ قیمتی تھی۔

اور محمد رشید رضا نے کہا تھا:

ایک سوئے ہوئے قوم کے لیے انقلاب لانے والا
ایسا ہے جیسے کوئی شخص اندھے کے راستے کو روشن کرنے کے لیے
اپنے جسم کو آگ لگا دے۔.

🚨 Total lawlessness in Pakistan. Military abducted an Imran Khan supporter, @Haidersaeedpti1, and handed him to police, who produced him in court. The court ordered judicial custody, but instead of prison, military disguised as a civilian agency is holding him in a safe house. When his mother questioned them, they threatened her with abduction and dire consequences.

”عمران خان نے آخری ملاقات میں میری بہن کو بتایا کہ " عاصم منیر انھیں جیل میں مارنا چاہتا ہے " لیکن میری بہن نے کہا کہ یہ بات باہر نہیں کروں گی

اب عمران خان کی جس طرح آنکھ خراب ہوئی ہے بہت سے ڈاکٹرز نے ہم سے رابطہ کیا اور کہا کہ اس کی ایک وجہ Slow poisoning ہو سکتی ہے، اس لیے اب ہم عمران خان کا ذاتی معالج اور فیملی کی موجودگی میں شفاء انٹرنیشنل ہسپتال سے مکمل معائنہ کروانا چاہتے ہیں، “- @Aleema_KhanPK

#WhatAreTheyHiding

From the news, we found out that Imran Khan was taken to PIMS again in the middle of the night, supposedly for his second injection in the eye.

When the law requires that family be informed before any medical procedure is conducted on a prisoner, why was the family not informed?

We do not trust the diagnosis or test reports from Government medical facilities. There are already reports coming from PIMS that the doctors are being threatened with serious consequences if any information is leaked about Imran Khan.

What are they Hiding?

Our family rejects their reports even if they issue these doctored reports to the public. We stand by our demand that Imran Khan be examined and treated in Shifa International (Islamabad) by specialists, under the supervision of Imran Khan’s personal doctors and in the presence of his family.

PIMS (Govt Hospital) is not equipped to treat anyone for the alleged condition that has developed in Imran Khan’s eye.

It is criminal what this Government is doing, and they will be held accountable for each and every violation and crime they are committing against Imran Khan.
